I wore this on Friday to go shopping with Lydia. We both had the day off and what better to do than shop til we drop!  We started at Starbucks where I found my new Summer drink - a Very Berry Hibiscus.  Next we headed to Coco's on the Green where I was a bad girl and bought a black Marc Jacobs top ($10) and a Salvatore Ferragamo suede skirt ($10) and a gorgeous opal and sapphire ring ($24.)  Next we quickly stopped at Sarah's Cupboard Thrift shop, I didn't find anything there but it's always fun to look around!  Finally we stopped at The Cedar Chest where I found a beautiful Anthropologie dress. Unfortunately it was $59 even though the tag said the person paid 29.99 (on sale from $189)...UGH! Oh well, maybe I'll come across it again somewhere else.

The day was beautiful, nice and hot but with a breeze. Definitely great Summer weather!  I brought out my new Zara shorts for the first time, they're so much fun!  I went with a monochromatic look for their first outing.

I haven't worn these pants in a while so I thought it was time to take them out for a spin! They are quite thin though so I'm wearing leggings underneath so I don't freeze.  Unfortunately these pants are a bit hard to style because of the coloring.  Normally I would want to wear them with black, but the base is navy blue so that doesn't work out too well. Luckily I now have this burgundy blazer which goes perfectly with the belt!

Song of the Day: Knocks Me Off My Feet by Stevie Wonder

Blazer: Elie Tahari thrifted, Tee: H&M, Necklace c/o Maximal Art, Pants: Maison Scotch c/o Aritzia, Heels: Candie's old, Watch: Michael Kors (Lord & Taylor), Sunglasses: Ray Ban 'Emma' (Marshalls)

I'm wearing the "M" Inspired Initial Necklace in silver below. Each necklace comes with a sentiment inscribed on the side, my word is "muse," fun right?!  I'm also sporting my new-to-me thrifted blazer, which is a size 14, ha ha.  But I liked it, and oversized is in, so I bought it!

Two giveaways in one week, am I going mad?! But this giveaway isn't specifically for you guys...it is for your Mother's! Mother's Day is fast approaching and this Dearest Mother Charm by Maximal Art is one perfect topper to your gift!  You can pair it with a full charm bracelet from the store or give it along with some beautiful flowers and a card.  I've shown it below with my Valentine's themed charm bracelet from Maximal Art. [I may have to make a sacrifice and use the whole thing as part of my Mother's Day gift for my lovely Mommy]

I have featured Maximal Art many times on the blog but for those of you that are new followers here is some background info:  Maximal Art was started in 1985 by Philadelphia-native artist John Wind after studying jewelry making at the Slade School of Art in London. John says that, "ultimately every single piece goes out into the world and finds a home and makes someone happy. That direct, personal, uplifting moment is what it's all about."

I am very excited to offer one of my readers this charm to give to their mother (or keep for themselves if they are lucky enough to have children ;) )
Details: This giveaway is open to readers in the US and will close on April 26th which should ensure you get the charm before Mother's Day (which is on May 13th in the United States)

Yesterday was quite a foggy day which lead to some cool photos in the morning before work (while one of the neighbors cats stared at me disapprovingly, I should have taken a photo of him.) I decided to go for a simple outfit and wore my awesome R2 wedges because I've been neglecting them as of late. That's the one bad thing about having so many awesome shoes, some get left out.

Blazer: Necessary Objects (Desert Fox Blog Shop) $20, Top: Marshalls $5, Jeans: American Eagle $0, Wedges: R2 (DSW) $35, Bracelet c/o Maximal Art, Watch: Michael Kors, Purse: Marc by Marc Jacobs

Notice my awesome mesh bracelet?! It was sent to me by the very talented John Wind of Maximal Art, who I featured a few months ago. This bracelet is so me, it is edgy but fun. I love the coat of arms on it, it reminds me of Harry Potter. Now the exiting part about this is...John is offering the same bracelet to one of my lovely readers!

To Win: The giveaway is open to my readers in the United States and will close on December 13th, so hopefully you can get the bracelet before all your New Years parties!
